I tried to do so with aspell, but since aspell does not support prefixes, the word list I needed to give it was unmanageably long. This is because in Hebrew, auxiliary words like "and", "the", or "when" are joined to the following word. (there are other reasons why Hebrew has so much more word constructs than European languages. consider &vav;&kaf;&shin;&shin;&mem;&resh;&tav;&yod;&he; - "and when I guarded her".) We have no reservation from integration with widely spread spell-checkers. On the contrary - it is in our TODO list, and we would appreciate if someone help us do it. On the mean while, we believe that hspell-0.1 *is* useful for the end user, as long as he or she is not afraid of non-interactiveness.
